An Advanced Style Makeover

After my divine run in with the girls from England(check out yesterday's post for the full story), I thought I'd brighten up Carol's day with an Advanced Style makeover. Carol has been a bit down lately, so she decided to come to New York for her 66th birthday, in order to get re-inspired. Carol rarely wears color so after a trip to Debra's, where we played with hats and put some bright make up on her, we headed over to Off Broadway Boutique. Lynn, Pat and the gang were ready to lend a helping hand for Carol's final transformation.We were even able to convince her to put on a little color.What do you think of Carol's new look? I hope you enjoy the videos above. It was truly wonderful running into these fantastic ladies who showed me that the ladies on Advanced Style are inspiring others to feel good about themselves.

You look gorgeous in that pink! Bring some of that colour back home to England, we need it:) I've loved seeing your New York story unfold, it's been a joy. Congratulations on having the courage for a big adventure.

Hi Ari. You didn't just make Carol's holiday, you may have transformed her life! Isn't it amazing how such beautiful women (the two of them and, in fact, all the rest of us!) never think of themselves as beautiful? And Carol - I know your village and, although the Brits can be a little judgemental :), GO FOR IT and add some color to your life. You are truly gorgeous!!

Carol, you look fantastic! Amazing and stunning! The magenta colored jacket brings you to life and the color is superb for your complexion! Your earrings made me swoon, they're so beautiful! All the ladies in the videos are just stunning! Ari, these videos are so inspirational! I love them! Like I've always said, I would be happy to be half as gorgeous as these ladies when I'm their age! Pamela looks like royalty in the fascinator! And Pat and Lynn, you are fabulous! Just fabulous! How I enjoyed this post! :)

This blog is awesome, this is pure inspiration ! Age means nothing when it comes to style and fashion, this blog brightens my spirit, really, keep up the good work ! :-) I am supporting you by following you with google !

How absolutely wonderful! Both women looked lovely and their joy in being part of the Advanced Style world is contagious and inspiring. I feel like running over to the Off Broadway boutique so that I can experience the fun of being put together by the pros!

What a great follow-up to yesterday's post! Such fun to go from video to video as the day unfolded. I just loved it and watched them all with a smile on my face! Carol, definitely take that gorgeous jacket with you--you absolutely should wear colour--it looks stunning on you!jill in Ontario

Ari...I was writing about how older people can find new friends. In retirement communities it seems that many men and women are very lonesome while standing in a crowded room. It occurred to me that you colorful friend might be an inspiration. Don't you think people that dress or wrap themselves in color invite conversation? I included a screen shop of your friend. Thank you for the connection.

Ari....how wonderful of you to make their trip to N.Y. so wonderful!!......so much fun!.....yes, you were all meant to run into each other in the subway!......your a sweetheart and so are all your wonderful friends.....

I really like Carol's look in the fuchsia jacket. Perhaps her usual look is more conservative than she'd like, but Carol's classic conservatism is a nice foil for a colorful artistic piece like that. It ends up looking dramatic but confident, and it works!

This was the most amazing post Ive ever read! Soooo lovely! Carol looks a m a z i n g, reminds me of my beautiful grandmother who was the prettiest woman! Go girls, you are a true inspiration, all of you. <3
